I'm Done With Germany. Here's Why I Would Never Like to Go Back

What this episode covers

In this episode of On the Move in English I had Alf, who is originally from Germany, but the more he travelled in his camper van, the less willing he was to return to his home country. We talk about why Germany is failing as a state from a libertarian point of view, how family life changes you if you're a traveller and what country Alf might end up moving to in the end. - What difficulties might you face when living in a camper van? - How do driving styles differ in the Balkans? - What does the community mean to libertarians like Alf? - How are Elon Musk and the far-right German party called Alternative for Germany (AfD) connected? - And also: How the fall of the Berlin wall was someone's mistake.
